When is a good time to try again? My OB wanted me to wait for a couple of months. I couldn't stand the thought of having to wait that long. In my mind, we were supposed to be having a baby on January 3rd. So having to wait another few months to even try again, and then another full 9 months of pregnancy just seemed like such a long time. We decided not to postpone it as it had taken us several months to get pregnant in the first place.
I soon found out that I was pregnant again. I apologize that I can't remember all of the dates now as it has been about six years ago, but I want to say it was about six weeks after having the miscarriage. I was elated, and I think Aaron was too. I know this was some time in July because I remember being at my parents house over my birthday and trying to float the nonexistent Virgin River. I was sick and tired and not "out of the closet" yet. But we were excited. This due date was set for March of 2005. It seemed forever away in my mind. But there it was, we were pregnant and this time we were going to have a baby!

Something lost
This page is a place for me to record my experiences with miscarriage. I have had four miscarriages since 2004, and I have had two successful pregnancies. My first success was my son, born in January '07, my second is my daughter born February '09. I am currently expecting again and am due in October 2010.
Over the years I have never taken the time to record my experiences and feelings about the hardships and heartbreak of miscarriage. Many women internalize their feelings regarding this subject because we live in a society that doesn't allow grief for an unborn fetus. It becomes our own dirty little secret, except that it isn't dirty, and it isn't little, and we grieve alone.
Please feel free to comment on my posts with your own feelings and experiences. Please keep in mind that the experiences that I will record are not current, but are significant still the same and that is why I choose to record them.
